Just Had My Ear Syringed — It Went Perfectly!

Hi. I've had loud tinnitus in my left ear for a few years now.
Since being a teenager (39 now)
I've had ear syringing every now and then. I simply get too much wax.

Since tinnitus began, I've been lucky in the fact that my left ear hasn't had to be syringed.

Anyway last weekend it got so muffled I needed to get it done. I put drops in it for about a week, then yesterday got it syringed at the doctor's.

What's the point in my post? Just to say it was fine. No increase in tinnitus. I just feel that some times people only put horror stories online, that it gives a skewed sense of danger.

My ear needed syringing, I got it syringed, I can now hear, and it went perfectly!

 

I'm glad it worked out for you, but syringing can cause an increase in tinnitus, as it's happened to a lot of users here. Good it worked out for you, but please be careful and use other methods of earwax removal. Only syringe if it gets too packed in.

 

Yeah when @BobDigi says syringing he means the method which is stated in the article where water is pumped in at a controlled pressure. In England we still call it syringing for some reason.

 

Yeah you're right. What else do people call it?
